    I saw in another reply you are in the Philippines. Have you talked to the locals around there? I’m sure if you ask enough of the Filipinas you will get a good amount of suggestions of local plants to use for different remedies, from Oregano (the oregano there is huge leaves compared to what I am used to) to some tree nick names a “miracle tree”. My mother in law usually has some idea of herbs used and they can often times be found growing on the side of the road unless you are in Manila.

    These look fantastic, and made in Montana. If I make profit from my mill I’m saving it toward the Grain Maker.

    I think it is made in India. I got one a few months ago too. I make hard wheat berry flour, amaranth flour, almond butter, peanut butter. Really any nut butter.

    Nut butter is much easier than grains. Have to sift and grind a couple times to get nice flour but that is fine.

    One flaw is that they have powder bake painted(not sure of right term) some parts of the grinding burrs. That paint has rubbed off or flaked off on the back of the spinning bur. Hope it wasnt too toxic. Didn’t notice till we already ate the flour and or butter.

    I have the drill bit attachment and i like to manually crank over using the drill. It seems to take more strength cause you need to limit the speed. My drill stupidly has an automatic highspeed to lowspeed adjustment so i cant slow it down besides with the trigger. Also, not as much leverage in the drill handle.
